Freeman lost all leverage when no team signed him to an offer sheet by last Friday's deadline.

Freeman could sign a waiver to participate, but has elected not to do so. Per reporter Stephen Holder, his absence "appears connected to a desire for a new contract." Freeman stands to make $2.35 million under his one-year tender. He has until Friday to sign an offer sheet with another team.

The second-round tender is worth just over $2 million. Freeman has been a key contributor since leaving the CFL to sign with Indy in 2012, averaging 122 tackles while piling up nine sacks, three picks and eight forced fumbles.

The Colts will also be without DL Arthur Jones (ankle). With Checkdown Charlie Whitehurst expected to be under center this week, the Titans might want to try feeding Bishop Sankey after he turned 10 carries into 61 yards last Sunday. Or they could keep "limiting" Sankey due to his allegedly imperfect "footwork."

Freeman's (hamstring) loss is a big boost to LeSean McCoy and the entire Eagles' offense. Rogers is a healthy scratch as the No. 6 receiver, but remains a hold in Dynasty. Holmes still isn't over his preseason ankle injury.

Freeman was unable to practice this week after leaving the Colts' Week 1 game with a hamstring injury. Josh McNary will start in Freeman's place, and Henoc Muamba should get some snaps as well. The best coverage linebacker on the Colts' roster, Freeman's absence is good news for Eagles TE Zach Ertz.

Colts ILB Jerrell Freeman exited Monday night's Week 6 game against the Chargers with a concussion.

Freeman is done for the night. He also has a cut on his shin, but that's obviously not a long-term issue. Entering the night, Freeman was Pro Football Focus' No. 18 inside linebacker. He's been excelling as a run defender and pass rusher. Mario Harvey is in the game next to Pat Angerer at inside 'backer.

That number comes courtesy of the coaching staff. The NFL credits Freeman with 145 tackles, which ranks fifth in the league. The CFL's runner-up for Most Outstanding Defensive Player in 2011 has been one of many gems unearthed by first-year GM Ryan Grigson.
